Nope, never had REAL Kobe beef but I think I've had the "fake" versions found in North America.

I would LOVE to eat some Kobe Beef prepared by a master chef. It is so rare and supposed to be so delicate and delicious that it has great appeal for me. If I am ever lucky enough to eat at a famous restaurant that serves it I am so in to try it! These are supposed to be the happiest cows on Earth!

There is no such thing as real Kobe beef in the US, since it's illegal to sell real beef from Japan to the US.

I know for a fact, that they breed cows in California and are done as per the specifications of real Kobe beef. Moreover, this beef is available in a couple of upscale New York City restaurants. It may be illegal to sell Kobe beef from Japan in the USA, but there is a very close form of the beef served in some restaurants in the US.

Unless you've eaten it in Japan, you've only eaten Kobe-style beef. There are no protections on the name Kobe outside of Japan, and as demand within the country is far higher than supply, it doesn't get exported.

I have eaten Wagyu a number of times. I refuse to eat regular beef now, it just doesn't taste the same.

Your point is well taken! I agree the particular beef doesn't get exported, but some similar type of beef is raised in California.

No thanks. Also, the picture looks like something from under a microscope.
